Only been using grinders the past couple years out of 50+ years using(always broke up by hand). Ive gone thru a BCG, SLX, SCS and several cheaper plastic grinders. All seemed to get Clogged after a bit. I also thought about the Separation of Keif, I want that In or On what Im Vaping, not separate. On a Whim, I dropped $100 on a HR...When I first got it, was disappointed in its size...seemed Small(2")....I didn't get one with a Keif catcher(got a 3 piece).
The next thing was how Easy it was to turn, even packed full.
All was Evenly ground, no powder...and none Stuck to any surfaces. When I dumped the chamber, All came out, as if it was Teflon coated. Seeing no powder, I Louped the ground material, it was still covered in Uncrushed Trichomes ! Which was the whole idea to begin with. Been using for 6 months, never cleaned..using all Homegrown, Sticky buds.... as you can see Still pretty clean......any of the others would have been clogged by now.
It Still amazes me how ground material dumps out Completely each load....Nothing seems to stick ! The 2nd pic of the catch bowl has never been cleaned either.
As far as opening in 1 1/4 turn, its more like 1 1/2, lol !
Im 72 with abused hands, yet, I have No Problem turning it regardless of the stickiness or load size.
Ranks at the top of $100 purchases I ever made.
